My old friend N8PR(SK) had a similar problem. Peter QTH was few miles for a AM
station. The SPE amp is very sensitive, the signal from the AM station was
strong enough to trip the amp. The solution was a 2 KW high pass filter to
attenuate

If everything is fine at lower power but trips at higher power, it could be
RFI. But I would suspect an arcover somewhere.
It sounds like your feedpoint is low impedance but there can be arcovers on
the insulator at the end of your L, too. Or if your L is spaced off from
the tower with insulators,
After two great nights of being able to receive, I am beyond frustrated,
as I cannot transmitsomething happened recently, and I cannot figure
it out... I suspect its RFI, but not sure why.as soon as I transmit
on my Inverted L, my SPE 1.3KFA amp trips, saying SWRT exceeds
limits.yet
